I have a custom API in the backend. There's no backend component for this. I need to call directly on the API. My question is I need to display the data inside a certain page slot. is this possible in spartacus? Please advise :)

Is your 'custom API' in any way related to SAP Commerce Cloud? or do you want to connect Spartacus with a non-CommerceCloud backend? or will Spartacus work with SAP Commerce Cloud backend normally, but only one feature (special new component) relies on this custom API? – Kacper Knapik
yes, for example, I have a news section on the homepage. There's a custom API for news to load the data. I need to put it in a certain slot in homepage. – rayss
I think I solved the problem. I just need to add CMSFlexComponent placeholder since CmsComponent can accept typeCode or FlexType cmsComponents: { <item type | flex type>: { component: <Angular Component>, }, } – rayss

I just need to create a CMSFlexComponent for a placeholder since cmsComponents can accept also a flex type:

cmsComponents: {
    <item type | flex type>: {
        component: <Angular Component>,
    },
}
